But that's what you're saying, aren't you? That all those stabbings, all the wars, all the violence from the Palestinian side since ever is simply because of the "occupation". That that is the source of evil, the cause for all the trouble in the middle east. That somehow Israel is to blame that it's citizens are being slaughtered like pigs. The Palestinians are the victim here, and if Israel stop the occupation all this violence will come to an end.
Only that's not the case. I truly wish it was. Becasue a day will come and the Palestinians will get their state. I have no doubt about it, it is inevitable. And as much as I would like to believe that that would be the end of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it simply won't. Because it was never a rational or logical conflict, it was never a conflict about oppression or more land or even the holy places. It is very simple- the Palestinians (and most of the Arab world) can't stand the existence of Israel, the existence of a Jewish country. Above everything else, it has always been a religious conflict. Even when the Palestinians get their state, what then? Palestine and Israel will live side by side peacefully for the rest of time? Unfortunetly, no. The Palestinias won't rest until there will be no more Israel.
